The 88th season of The Muny began tonight with The King & I. We've had season tickets on Friday nights for about 7 or 8 years now. Before that, we purchased season tickets for several years through Bill's work. The only problem with that was that they weren't the same seats each year. I guess that's not really a problem unless you have seats that you don't want to give up. We've had these same seats now for the past 4 seasons and they're perfect, unless of course some really big guy sits directly in front of us but that's true no matter which seat you're in..hee hee hee.
Each year during the last two shows of the season, they distribute a questionnaire asking which shows and performers you'd like to see during the next season. Each year I always write in "Toni Tennille" as the performer I'd like to see. I even suggest that they ask her to star in either Hello Dolly or Mame, both of which she has performed in other cities. I guess they finally got tired of me writing her name in every year and they added her to the list of choices a few years ago. They still haven't asked her to star in one of the shows though (or maybe they have and she declined). Oh well, maybe next year.
This season's shows are: The King & I, Aida, The Wizard of Oz, Gypsy, White Christmas, Oliver and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Hopefully Friday nights will be rain free!
DId you enjoy The King and I? I went on Thursday and I loved it. I thought everyone did a great job and especially liked the king. The Muny rocks! By the way, in case you're wondering, I am a Splitcoast-er as well. Anyway, I'm a huge Muny fan. My mom has season tickets and all the girls in the family get to pick a night to go. My first choice was White Christmas, but another sister got dibs first. My hubby promises to take me to see it. Enjoy!
